FSDS3 Hawker Siddeley HS.748 for FS2004 .  (April 14th 2006)

                 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   FS2004 only   !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
                                 will not display at all in FS2002


*************Please read this text file before you fly*****************

Please note: due to complicated systems programming on the HS.748 panel

          Do not save the HS.748 as your default startup flight.

Please install Base Pack first.
Then Pack 1 (27 liveries)
Then Pack 2 (25 more Liveries)
(sorry but there are too many and with a full VC and sounds etc the files are much too big for Dialup users).
I have split the file into 3 so that it can be downloaded by just about everyone.
Hopefully including Dialup users.

Lots more liveries to come.

The Team & I will need a few weeks break now this model is released 
as we have been flat out since i started this one New Years Eve.

More models to come.
inc
Westair Sweden with APU housings & LFD Large Freight Door model.

Regards
Rick
